If you are visiting  fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to  read the ABOUT section.   I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him  —  so you can hear him also.  He calls me His Child –  but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children.   I invite you to listen as HIS child.  Remember always,  God loves you. †

“Child, forgiveness.  You seek answers and you seek knowledge – you seek truth.  You must come to me.  You must come to me to forgive also – only through me are you forgiven – and only through me can you forgive.  Seek forgiveness first before you forgive; that you forgive not with a prideful, righteous heart, but a humble, loving, obedient, servant’s heart.  Through love you forgive.  For love, you forgive – the love of my son.  As you love him – you must forgive as he forgave you – and forgives your every breath.

Child – you are clean in His eyes for His blood washes your sins away.

You often hear that when you forgive – it is really for you.  NO child, it is not.  Don’t be confused.

As Christ forgives you – you are able to come before him every day renewed – and new.

Shshs, be still – listen – be very still child – you know my voice as it speaks to your heart – let your heart be still … calm – rest and learn truth – receive through grace …. Forgiveness.

Yes child, you are mine – all that you do … do for me and all will be well.

Forgive not for you – not for your offender.  Forgive for me – through obedience you are given the will, the courage, the love, the strength to forgive.

Surrender child – you must surrender your hurt, your pain, your guilt.  It does not serve you and it does not serve my son.

Surrender all, that you are freed from the burdens that weigh you down – that keep you from moving forward in the light.  Surrender your pain, your hurt, your guilt, your holding back and your holding on – your anger, your rage, your sorrow, your grief.

Surrender all that you may forgive – and through your forgiveness you are forgiven.

Lighten your burdens … that you may serve Jesus.

Forgive for Jesus.

Forgive as Jesus forgave.  And live.

Free to love.            Free to sing.               Free to dance.

Child – to forgive is to love again … unencumbered.    Even though you may have to love from a distance.

Love – simply love without conditions.

Love even if they don’t love you in return.

Love even if they don’t know how to love you.

Pray for them to learn to receive love – for that is the hardest part of living child…  … to receive the love of my son, in the wholeness in which he gave.

Pray for their salvation – not that they can love you in return – but that they will reconcile with Jesus and receive his love.

As you too must reconcile with him every day …. every moment … for child you are not without sin.

Sin is sin

All sins are against me and deny my son.

Some seem greater than others  …

Child – they all pierce his heart – and thus he bleeds for you and your salvation.

And the salvation of all who come to him.

Child – forgive and pray … in the fullness of truth, with the fullness of your heart.

And yes – forget.

As a mother who births a child instantly forgets the pain of the birth when she sees the miracle.  So you will forget the pain – the fear – the despair – the anger – the sorrow  – the grief – the rejection – the insecurity – the tears …

When the miracle of forgiveness fills your heart – you will forget not the act … but that which seized your soul and paralyzed you for so long.

Pray for the miracle of forgiveness to free your heart.

Simply surrender child – for Christ is the forgiver.  Give all your burdens to him that he will forgive for you.

Child – he died to carry your yoke. Let him forgive for you … and live.  Lay those burdens also at the foot of his cross and live to serve him in the fullness of grace.

Child – live life in the light of my son….. free to love.

Child, speak truth and know I love you.

Amen Amen Amen

Lord Jesus – in humble obedience I will speak.  Though I am still tentative  — in my humanness I continue to fear rejection.  I know I must obey and stand on the truth – even if I stand alone.

Forgive me when I hesitate … thank you Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit for being so present … for your compassion and wisdom and guidance – and gentle love.  Thank you for being gentle with me.

I love how you love me.

Amen Amen Amen

Father – in your mercy of confirmation – you took me to the Word.  I praise you in humble thanksgiving – you took me to Corinthians 13:4. ‘Love is patient and kind.  Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.  It does not demand it’s own way.  It is not irritable and it keeps no record of being wronged.  It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures every circumstance.’

“Child – the truth is love.  When you love like my son – you will forgive.

Love is forgiving.

Live – to love like Jesus.”
Amen Amen Amen
